traction issues

installed the cusco front a-arms, spc rear camber, toe bolts then had the alignment done...after that i noticed that when i exit 360 from 20, i take the turn at about 80 and if i allow any of the weight back on the front, my traction control kicks on

front specs:
caster: left - 10.2 -> 8.1
right - 9.3 -> 7.6
camber: left - -2.1 -> -2.0
right - -2.1 -> -2.1
toe: left - 0.00 -> 0.03
right - -0.31 -> 0.04
total - -0.31 -> 0.07

rear specs:
camber: left - -2.7 -> -1.7
right - -2.4 -> -1.4
toe: left - -0.47 -> 0.17
right - -0.37 -> 0.18
total - 0.84 -> 0.35

*I have some camber wear on the front with some irregular toe wear. and two different tires in rear (same size though)

...i'm at a loss

When you mean weight up front you mean hit the brakes?

That is usually a sign of a well balanced car. I know it isn't always possible on the street, but slow down before the turn and keep the rear end planted (accelerate) through the turn. You didn't mention suspension mods. Softening the rear susp will help keep the rear planted. I went from sedan sport springs to 350z revised and have the same issue. I'll probably switch to unrevised at some point.

That's no good. It will get you were you need to go, but I hope you are saving up for a matching rear set.

i bent a rim about a week or so ago, and damaged with sidewall of the tire. they didn't have another one of my tires in the area, so i had to settle...similar tread pattern though.
